1954 Chevy 3600 Starting Issues

A series of tests run once a new/refurbished starter motor has been installed.

Possibly a 12v starter motor on a 6v battery? Might be enough voltage to spin the motor up but not enough juice to crank the engine. Just one possible guess.

Needs a set of brushes in the starter..mine 54 has a 6 volt starter and running 12 volt..ran for yrs with 12 volt nonproblems

[@javitee2944]

Starter needs to be rebuilt

[@cassfracassi7825]

Maybe you need spacer plates between starter and flywheel. Sounds like starter is going to far in and jamming...👍

[@rev.kenshostad2888]

If your starter is loose would that not remove the Neg. as the starter is grounded by the bolts being tight?? I would try to ground the starter and try again...

[@mrliberty8468]

That ground looks weird and that cable dia looks small..

[@davidsaucedo717]

Solenoid?

[@mrliberty8468]

Grease your doors.

[@seanwalsh396]

Its the clutch peddle squekin ..mine does the same thing

[@connorloftis4236]

Ever figure it out?

[@cougarwalker9320]

I'm having the same problem I'm curious if this guy ever figured it out

[@dakotalunceford711]

I'm having the same problem as well on my 59 viking. I replaced the switch on the starter and still nothing. It was working fine one day then the next nothing........??????

Anyone ever figure this out. I'm having the same problem on my 50 chevy 3100 with the 216.
